New team: Robson (centre) with coach Nick Saviano (2nd left) and assistant Jesse Witten (2nd right)

Dzesi bas namucio Novaka na USO pre par godina, mozda i set uzeo, ne secam se bas

Saviano, the 57-year-old former player who is one of the best known coaches in American tennis, is likely to act more in a training and consultancy role rather than constantly travelling around the WTA Tour with the 19-year-old world No 45.

It is expected that at tournaments she will work more with an assistant coach and hitting partner in the ex-ATP player Jesse Witten, 31, who reached the third round of the US Open in 2009.
There will also be a fitness trainer travelling with Robson as she seeks to build on a year that saw her perform very promisingly in the Grand Slams but less so in the more regular events.

Saviano has a long track record in the game and is also well-known as a mentor to other coaches. He has worked with Robson before, but not since she won junior Wimbledon at the age of 14. His more long-standing star pupils are American Grand Slam semi-finalist Sloane Stephens - who is currently working with Roger Federer's former coach Paul Annacone - and the fast-rising Canadian Eugenie Bouchard, who is both a close friend and rival of the British player.

Robson is expecting to continue training in Florida before heading to Australia for Christmas to play early-season tournaments there and in Auckland prior to January’s Australian Open in Melbourne.

The president of the Argentina Tennis Association (AAT), Arturo Grimaldi, says he’s willing to “walk to Tandil” to talk to Juan Martin del Potro, who has declined to play his country’s first-round Davis Cup tie against Italy. Del Potro recently wrote a letter critical of the federation, which accused it and captain Martin Jaite of a “hypocritical double standard.” Del Potro lives in Tandil.

Grimaldi criticized himself for not having a better relationship with pro players and admitted that it’s been a long time since he spoke to Del Potro.

“I said a month ago in symbolic form: I’m walking to Tandil,” Grimaldi said in a television interview. “I mean, obviously I’m willing to have a dialogue with all the pro players. It is a policy of the AAT to take charge and make a self-criticism because we are too far away from our pro players and so many former players work for the association so we can be closer to everyone, including Juan Martin.”

Ovo može i na Istoriju tenisa

Bivši američki teniser Gardner Maloj, koji je pomogao Dejvis kup timu SAD da osvoji tri trofeja, napunio je sto godina.
Zanimljivo je da se njegov rođendan poklapa sa stogodišnjicom Medjunarodmne teniske federacije (ITF).
"Gardner je ikona svetskog tenisa. Trostruki Dejvis kup šampion odigrao je važnu ulogu u razvoju veteranskog tenisa", rekao je u saopštenju predsednik ITF Frančesko Riči Biti.
Maloj je najstariji teniser koji je osvojio titulu u dublu na Vimbldonu, kada je u 43. godini igrao sa Badžom Patijem. On je 2003. u 89. godini osvojio titulu svetskog šampiona u kategoriji preko 80 godina i osvojio trofej nazvan po njemu.

Former British No.2 Melanie South has decided to retire from tennis to focus on a career within coaching.



Mel, 27, from New Malden in Surrey, reached a career high ranking of 99 in February 2009. She won a total of 6 ITF singles and 24 ITF doubles titles, and won a round at Wimbledon on her Grand Slam debut in 2006 beating 11th seed Francesca Schiavone.

Speaking about her announcement, the former British No.2 said: “I feel ready and excited to move onto the next stage of my life. I’ve had many great moments in my career and am proud of the highs I have reached. My most memorable moments are beating Schiavone at Wimbledon, making the quarter-finals of the WTA Tour event in Birmingham, getting to both the quarter-finals (with Alex Bogdanovic) and the 3rd round (with Ken Skupski) in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon, representing Great Britain in Fed Cup and of course breaking into the top 100 which had always been my goal.

“There are always ups and downs in a player’s career and I have been through many of both. I have suffered a few injuries that have now taken their toll on my body but overall I am proud of how I have dealt with both the highs and lows.

“I would like to thank all of my past coaches, trainers, sponsors and friends at the LTA who have helped me on my tennis journey. From the beginning with Lesley Charles across the road from Wimbledon, listening to the crowds cheering as I had my lessons hoping one day I would play there. A special ‘thank you’ goes to Lucie Ahl who first started coaching me when I was 17. She is the one person who has always been at the other end of the phone throughout every high and low no matter how big or small they were.

“Through to my most recent team at the Bath Academy who have been a great support through my surgery and recent injuries. It has been great training in such a positive and healthy environment. A massive thank you to all the fans and supporters who have ever cheered, clapped or followed my results as well. Finally, and probably most importantly, thank you to my family. The help and support they have always given me is amazing. I am now looking forward to using all my own experiences to help others on their own tennis journey.”

Iain Bates LTA Head of Women’s Tennis said: “Mel has contributed hugely to British women's tennis throughout her career. Breaking the top 100 in 2009 was a great achievement and one which Mel should be very proud of. We all wish her well in the next phase of her career.”

Hantuhovu ce trenirati Sancez. Dosadio mu Verdasko

Jelenin „maler“ radi sa Hantuhovom
IZVOR. B92
Slovačka teniserka Danijela Hantuhova, potvrdila je početak saradnje sa španskim stručnjakom, Rikardom Sančesom
Danijela je tokom karijere radila sa više trenera, najduže sa Eduardom Nikolasom.
Hantuhova se oglasila na ’Fejsbuku’ povodom angažovanja novog trenera, rekavši da je njihova saradnja došla prirodno.
„Nas dvoje se poznajemo godinama, tako da je početak prošao prirodno. Radujem se teškom radu koji mi predstoji i uzbuđena sam zbog odrađenog prošle nedelje u Španiji“, rekla je Slovakinja.
Sančes je tokom karijere radio sa dosta teniserki, od kojih su najpoznatije Karolina Voznijacki i naša Jelena Janković.
On je sa Jelenom radio tokom 2009. godine i ta saradnja nije dala dobre rezultate. Prema Jeleninim rečima, njena igra je trpela zbog velikog broja treninga u teretani, a posebno loše rezultate imala je na Vimbldonu i US Openu.

Jesu li ovi normalni a 2008, to ništa...?
